    Two of my favourtie RUclips car chaps! With the 6.9 and all other variants of that range I much prefer the velour fabric to the leather. It feels richer and more comfortable. Back at the start of the eighties when I was at college in Exeter the local merc dealer had an SLC in stock in the most beautiful antique gold paint with dark green velour interior. Forty one years later I can still see it in my minds eye!

    Fabvideo, i'm a fan of both channels and never miss an episode. I'm always a bit surprised that Iain does everything inside the same workshop. metalwork, trimming and engine rebuilds, - and with jet engines blowing in dust from outside. He is however, an amazing engineer and very likeable to boot. Thanks Gary.

    Great video, but let's be honest, that V12 XJS is to die for. Think I saw one in Tyrell's parking lot some episodes ago too. It has aged remarkably well, especially the Euro version without the extended bumpers that you see here in the States.

    Hello Gary, I have watched Harry’s garage for a long time and because of Harry’s regular visits to Iain Tyrell that started me watching Tyrell’s classic cars. I find Iain a very knowledgeable guy and similar to you he does go into a lot of detail. I loved your visit to Iain Tyrell’s garage and all those gorgeous cars.

      @peterduxbury927 Год назад

      What always fascinated me about the E-Type, was the Tubular Steel Construction of the Front - End, all simply bolted to the Firewall. I often thought that the design didn't look rigid enough, and would therefore 'flex'. There are special people in this world who deserve respect in the Classic Car World. Two of them are here together. Greetings from Australia.

    FWIW The Harvey Bailey kit made my Bentley S1 handle much better without affecting ride quality. I can take on ramps/off ramps at modern car speed (pretty much) without much body roll at all. It makes the car more drivable as a "car" in modern traffic.

  • @adamwort7160
    @adamwort7160 Год назад +2

    I had a silver shadow with standard suspension wafted along, then bought a Bentley T1 but it didn't ride as nice as the rolls, then found out the Bentley had been fitted with rolls royce sport suspension, i think Harvey Bailey surplied
    Ruined the ride
    Drove like a granada
    Evertime I gave someone a ride in it expecting it to be like a magic carpet
    I had to explain its been fitted with uprated suspension
    I sold it, now I have a 75 LWB with standard suspension as intended

    On the Rolls suspension kit, Gary. You might have considered changing the shocks only to the Bilstein type used in the conversion. I think Harry Metcalfe did that to his “Arctic Rolls” on Harry’s garage , better damping but ride still good. If you GO the whole kit it might be a bigger transition to the ride . However , we’ll see how you find the change next video .

    • @classic.obsession
      @classic.obsession  Год назад +2

      Thanks Martin. Yes I’ve ordered a new set as I thought my old shocks would be a little worse for wear and would compromise the new ride kit. Good job I did as you’ll see in the next video. Was really good to get Iain’s take on it all before I embarked on the fitting. He’s very knowledgeable and entertaining and I trust his judgement. Always like a kid in a toy shop every time I visit. A labyrinth of dream cars and quality workmanship. Regards.

    White was a very popular colour for the E types and other Jaguars in the 60s and 70s but everyone repainted them red.
    Somehow Mark Evans lost a load of money on the S2 drophead he restored for his DVD series 15 years ago… that one went from white to red.
